It took an achingly long session of begging, arguing, and pleading, but I somehow managed to get my parents to agree to letting me ship myself across the world for a few weeks. One week and a signed consultation note from the doctor later and I was in the airport terminal kissing my family goodbye before I embarked on my mission. My mom openly cried, and I felt twinges of guilt in my chest but that did not compare to the excitement I felt at the prospect of seeing everyone again.
"Goodbye, Troye." Sage swept me up into a giant hug, something unexpected. We hadn't really been the hugging type of siblings, but I guess now that I was sick everything was changing.
"Don't be an idiot." My dad ruffled my hair, earning a death glare from me before he gathered me into a tight hug.
"Say hi to everyone for me, Troye, and don't you dare forget to take your medicine. If you need to pause and come home early, don't even hesitate!" My mother coos, giving me a kiss on the forehead and a hug that I gratefully sunk into, the warm scent of her familiar perfume filling my nostrils.
I give one final hug to everyone and then the monotonous airport voice comes over the loudspeakers, announcing that my flight is boarding. I stroll confidently through the terminal and towards the gate, earbuds dangling from my pocket and carry-on backpack hanging from my shoulder. Handing the stewardess my boarding pass and get checked through the gate, I make my way to my seat on the plane and sit down.

The flight stewardess runs us through airplane safety procedures that I mostly blur out, and as soon as I'm allowed to I plug in my earbuds, shutting my eyes to Don't Wait by Mapei.
This song always makes me think of the fans- how strong I feel our relationship tether is, how much I appreciate them, how much I want to meet every single one of them and give them the biggest hug they've ever received in their lives. My mind flashes to the Troyler shippers, who I've seen refer to this song as the Fandom Anthem on more than one occasion via social media, because of all the times we've sang along to it on our fundraiser livestreams and how they think it perfectly describes Tyler and I's relationship. I love the Troyler shippers, don't get me wrong. They always know when they've taken it a few steps too far and are always really cautious of our feelings on the ship itself, letting us clearly know that if we were to say anything, they would back down as much as we needed them to. They put a lot of work into their dedication to us, I've seen all the amazingly talented art they've made and the edits that must have taken ages to put together and the limited amounts of fanfiction that I have read so far have been absolutely brilliant. I love Tyler as well, he's probably one of the greatest best friends in the entire world. Regardless of time zones and phone bills and any other things barring a regular friendship, he's always there for a good talk and pour-my-heart-out session. We are so close, and I personally think that the fact that we are shipped so closely only makes our friendship even more special. We never let Troyler get in the way, and normally it isn't an issue.
I thought about Troyler for a little bit longer, scattered thoughts, before the music streaming through my headphones lulled me into a sleep populated with giving cupcakes to random fangirls and a familiar green quiff.

Hello! :) How is you guys. It's freakishly early for me right now, I'm so exhausted so if this chapter makes no sense my excuse is that I'm on a sleepover and my stomach is full of Coke and Cheez-Its and my friends let me turn TRXYE on repeat which I love them for. Did you like the chapter? I mean I'm pretty proud of it for something unedited that I wrote at 3 a.m. and then updated at like 6 because I kept falling asleep.
ALSO this chapter is dedicated to luna_loves_fanfics because she asked me to check out her Connor Franta fanfic and y'all should go check it out, it's pretty.... frantastic I should say.
Comment, vote, do whatever you think this chapter is worth (hopefully both).
Dubai, cuties.

PS: The next update is coming... wait for it... SOON!! (if the boys can do it so can I)
